Interestingly foot rot is pretty well incurable, and requires constant work, if it is to be managed. Canker is another name for it. It consists of multiple bacteria that have buried themselves deep into the base of the foot and make the sole spongy and deformed. We have a horse at Wildwoods with canker and so far the farrier and the applications are keeping it at bay. (2025)
